I'm not used to the whole /home vs /export/home difference and when you add zones to the mix it's quite confusing.

I'm just playing around with this zone.....to learn but in the next REAL zone i'll probably:

mount the home directories from the base system (this machine itself IS a file server, and the zone i intend to config will be a ftp server and possible a bit torrent client)

or create a couple stand alone users which AREN't in /home

This makes a lot more sense now....I also forgot to set a default router in my zone so i can't even connect to the internet right now..

When i edit it with zonecfg can i just do:

add net
set defrouter=192.168.1.1**
end

OK, so if you're the filer too, the automount system still works for you the same as it does for all other machines using automount - it'll nfs mount to itself, etc. Check out and follow the convention if you're so inclined. Then of course, it helps to become a nis or ldap expert too, which is a bit much to chew on if you're just here to check out zones, so your simplification above is fine, as is Gaëtan's original recommendation... At least until your network grows to the point that you start to notice the home dir chaos and can't hit nfs shares at will.. Then you have to go back and undo all your automount breakage.

And yes, your zonecfg tweak should do the trick. But you don't have to take my word for it -- the experts hang out in zones-discuss ;)
